CBD oil or pot? Are we getting down or staying well. It’s important. Do I buy Cheetos and tacos or put a little under my tongue for 60 seconds to help me sleep and reduce muscle pain?

Ok, so far we have horse worm medicine (Ivomectin), nicotine (not smoking) as in patch or gum, now MJ. What’s next, I find this interesting and not funny, as who knows what’s next that might work.

Evidently, it is the CBD portion of cannabis and not the THC, that they are looking at. It seems as though it locks into the ACE2 receptors, thus blocking the Covid-19. It is said to reduce infection by 70-80 percent, which will give the body a chance to fight the virus.

Interesting if proven true.

“We were totally stunned at first, and then we were really happy,” one of the researchers, Olga Kovalchuk, told CTV News.

Hey! It’s a win, win. Either way carry out and drive through never got restricted. 27 Tacos and a small coke or a little dropper full under your tongue or both. They are studying a menthol enema too. Said to be totally refreshing.

God forbid anyone click the link and read the article.

“The key thing is not that any cannabis you would pick up at the store will do the trick,” Olga told CTV, with the study suggesting just a handful of more than 800 varieties of sativa seemed to help.

All were high in anti-inflammatory CBD — but low in THC, the part that produces the cannabis high.
